Lingling and Shi'an counties were self-sufficient, so they ignored Lantian's propaganda. Wei Huan came here secretly. Lantian felt that such an thoughtful official could still be saved.

Unexpectedly, he encountered such a difficult problem when he first came to Lingling. Lantian asked people to arrange Wei Huan to rest in the post house, and then called back Gao Shun and Gan Ning to discuss countermeasures.

It is said that this kind of ethnic conflict is mainly caused by interests, and to a large extent it is also caused by misunderstandings and poor communication. However, Liu Du's solution is to blindly tolerate it. Although it is a temporary solution in the short term, it will not last long. It is tantamount to raising bandits to cause trouble.

If equal pay for equal work and communication were smooth, there would be no big contradiction at all. At this time, the productivity of the Han people was advanced, and the productivity of the Yue people in slash-and-burn farming might be lagging behind, which would easily lead to a sour grapes mentality.

Coupled with the language barrier that ignites the fuse, local small wars are unavoidable. In the end, it is the honest people who suffer.

In this case, the only alternative to escaping is to lie down. The vitality of an area will be lost very quickly. If you want to solve the trouble once and for all, you have to use both kindness and force. At least at this stage, the deterrence of force is indispensable.

The Yue people were divided into tribal groups, with one to two hundred, or thirty to fifty warriors going down the mountain in groups and entrenched themselves in the remote mountains and wilderness of Lingling and Shi'an counties. They were the same as the clan thieves in Jingzhou in the past, but on a smaller scale. a lot of.

Lantian didn't want Lingling to develop like Jiangdong, where he would be constantly at odds with the Shanyue people throughout his life.

Gan Ning had experience in governing the Yue people, but Lingling's naval force was still being formed, and it would take a longer time for the warships to take shape. Naturally, Gao Shun's camp would be better by land.

"The Yue people in Lingling and Shi'an counties are arrogant and domineering. The main reason is Liu Du's indulgence. Now that we are here, we must suppress this unhealthy trend." Lan Tian said sonorously.

"Sir, let me go." Gan Ning asked.

"The situation is urgent. Boping goes to pacify Lingling, and Xingba goes to pacify Shi'an." Lantian said thoughtfully.

"Wei." Gao Shun (Gan Ning) said in unison.

Before the two left, Lan Tian added: "Bo Ping went to the post house to pick up Wei Xian Cheng first. Xing Ba, please wait two days before leaving."

"It's not an emergency, why..." Gan Ning asked puzzledly.

Lan Tian: "As the saying goes, haste makes waste. If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. The road to Shi'an is long and difficult, so it is faster to take the waterway. But there are not enough warships in Lingling, so we have to wait."

"Building a ship will take a long time, sir, does he have some other clever ideas?"

"I have already gone to Dongting in a small boat to meet General Guan and ask him to borrow dozens of warships for use. I estimate that I will be back in two or three days. You should prepare the food, grass and baggage first."

Gan Ning's eyes lit up, and he thought that Mr. Ma's plan was not limited to Lingling. Traveling by water would be much faster.

Two days later, thirty warships arrived at Quanling. Not many of Liu Bei's men could make Guan Yu look good, but Lantian was one of the few people he admired, so he sent his eldest son Guan Ping to help him fight.

Gan Ning went south along the river to find peace, and agreed to rush back to Quanling before the year.

While the two were going south to put down the rebellion, Lan Tian was already arranging the next steps. He wrote to Zhuge Liang and borrowed Nanping County Lieutenant Gaoyuan and Guiyang County Prime Minister Zhang Chang so that he could use some familiar people to carry out his work.

In October of the 11th year of Jian'an, general Tai Shici died of illness in Jianchang. Sun Quan sent Cheng Pu to take over his post. Liu Pan took advantage of the situation and entered Ai County and other places to raid. Although he had many small victories, due to insufficient troops, he plundered some money and grain and returned to You. county.

Seeing an opportunity, Liu Pan wrote to Liu Biao asking for more troops.

At this time, Liu Biao was also very worried. The last time Huang Zu sent Deng Long to attack Chaisang, he was captured alive by Zhou Yu. Now, although Liu Pan had a small victory, he was not as good as Zhou Yu in using troops.

After Zhou Yu pacified Ma and Bao Ertun, he replenished a considerable number of troops. If he continued to attack Jiangxia in a large scale, Huang Zu would be under greater pressure.

The military power in Xiangyang was in the hands of Cai Mao. The last time he asked him to give 10,000 to Liu Qi, he had already given Liu Biao enough face. He refused to pay out any money on the pretext of Xiangyang's defense needs.

Liu Biao had no choice but to write a reply to Liu Pan, asking him to go to Liu Qi if he was short of troops, and the 10,000 navy troops were sent to support him.

Liu Pan didn't like the ten thousand old, weak, sick and disabled, so he could only watch the fighter planes pass by. He knew that after Cheng Pu completely took over Jianchang, he would have no chance.

In mid-December, the troops of Gan Ning and Gao Shun who suppressed the rebellion will return to Quanling by water, and Lingling and Shi'an counties have been pacified.

In accordance with Lantian's strategy of cutting through the mess with a sharp knife, they held referendums on the leaders of the rebel Yue people. In particular, Gan Ning wiped out nearly a hundred tribes, and the leaders of these tribes were taken to the front of the mountain stronghold and executed.

The bullied Han people in the two counties were finally proud, while the rebellious Yue tribes fell into panic.

Lantian subsequently adjusted the officials of the two counties and appointed Wei Huan as the magistrate of Lingling County, Zhang Chang as the magistrate of Shi'an County, and Gao Yuan as the county captain of Shi'an County.

In handling the relationship between Han and Vietnam, he used both kindness and power, giving out candy to anyone who was hit with a stick. Lantian canceled the taxes of the two counties for one year, and asked Li Yang to send people to guide production.

With this thunderous method, the Yue people in the two counties will not dare to make mistakes in the short term. Once new technologies and new agricultural tools are widely used, I believe they will soon restore peace like other counties, and even learn their shame and develop faster. .

It took Liu Biao several years to put down the rebellion in the three counties of Jingnan before Zhang Xian died. Lingling and Shi'an counties were put down in a few months, which surprised Liu Qi.

"I heard that the Yue people in Lingling and Shi'an were suffering from a stubborn disease. Liu Du was unable to deal with it when he was in office. Mr. Ziyu actually managed to pacify it in a few months. Your sharp sword is so sharp." Liu Qi complimented.

Lan Tian said modestly: "This is all the credit of the two generals Gao and Gan. I actually did nothing..."

Liu Qi pointed at him and smiled: "Everyone in the world knows that Ziyu is humble. Qi finally saw it today. If my husband hadn't come to help me, how could I have such a stable life..."

"We have the same people but different fates. It would be great if the eldest son could control the overall situation. Wouldn't it be exhausting if we had to do everything ourselves?" Lan Tian replied.

Liu Qi deeply agreed, "If I am afraid of being scolded again in Xiangyang, it is better for someone as talented as Ziyu to be considerate."

"Is the young master still getting used to being in Quanling?" Lan Tian saw that his spirit was listless, and he estimated that his physical condition was very worrying.

"Very good, very good. I just feel a little weak. I will go to Chen County in a few days and ask Mr. Zhongjing to prescribe a few doses of medicine." Liu Qi said with a smile.

When Liu Qi was in Xiangyang, he indulged in sex, and his body had been hollowed out long ago. After he came to Quanling, he was even more unsupervised. He indulged in drinking, singing and dancing every day, and he was afraid that he would die early like in history.

Lan Tian didn't give much advice, after all, life and death mattered.

"The new year is approaching, my master will not be celebrating the New Year in Quanling?" Lan Tian asked curiously.

"Sir, you have been busy with Lingling and Shi'an these days. Doesn't your uncle know that he is so happy with Lin'er?" Liu Qi said with a smile.

Lantian counted with his fingers and found that Adou's version had indeed been updated.
